Lightbulb Airflare or Airtrack name debate - 07-18-2004, 12:01 PM

This is where we can debate as to what it should be called. I used to call it the airflare, but now i changed my mind. shouldnt airflares be a handstand with your legs circling around. Trax are mills with your head on the ground right? Notice how the arm movement is almost the same as the airtrack. Swing one arm away push off with the other do a 180 on the corner your head and catch your self. Now I say they are called airtraxks because they are more like trax without your head on the ground.

Okay, first of all, theres a little button called SEARCH, ya might wanna try it sometime. I cant believe I'm actually gonna repeat shit here for your lazy ass.

I'll even do this both ways for. THE TRUTH IS, THAT IS DOES NOT MATTER!!!

Airflare or airtrack, the reason there is two names is historical, but ill get to that in a second. Right now, people call them two things for a few reasons. Geography, history, and society. If you ask a lot of the older people, they will say airtrack so when they teach thats what u get, a lot of the younger ones like moy n ruen, they will say airflare. Ive seen people from two different parts of the country not know what the other was talking about before. Names mean nothing, BOTH the moves are the same. If your going to debate anything, you might as well remember that. Most people debate that the moves are different, not what u should be calling them, since THAT does not matter.

Now for the history, since you wanted to bring up trax. Here you go..

Trax are windmill with your head on the ground, it was only common sense that an airtrack would be a halo in the air. In case you dont know, halos are airflares on the floor so ya, common sense.

However, since windmills, halos, flares, airflares, are ALL the same move but at different levels of height...and yes thats true, if u dont know, then ur not paying attention to the dynamics...then it really doesnt matter what u call it. Since almost everything will be one in the air, and we dont call them air halos. HELL we dont even argue about if its halos or trax and do youknow why? There the Same move, but have different names because of how your area came up

Airflares came about because your legs go above your head and you have to hop, ie...a flare in the air..

I could go into how the moves were created, who made them, and which well respected members will argue wat side. the truth is that unless ur arguing for a difference in the move which would be stupid theres NO reason to argue about a name since both are right.

Halo/trax
airflare/airtrack
mills/continuous backspin
flares/thomas
parralells/virgins
babies/munchmills.

GET USE TO IT

and like i said, search button, if u want all the history, search it, we've debated enough for this

Dont bite the hand that feeds u, eventually everyone helping u will get annoyed...jesus.

Beginners giving beginners tips without understanding what they are saying is probally one of the worst ways to spread KNOWLEDGE.....which is the key to anything in life.

i already knew that anubis I heard you say it before. Its just from different people coming up with ti it wasnt just one person. I just want to hear people argure about which came first the chicken or the egg.

Damnit cant spell

I already knew about that they are the same move and the fact that they came from 2 different names because it wasnt invented by one person on one side of the world. Different people made it up and different people named it.

I just wanted to hear other people point of view on the matter not really the truth. I guess I can say I want to see people argue about it.

There is no chicken or egg debate, history shows airtrack was used as a name first, but not by much...and simply only to describe it when it came from mills, not the general move in itself

mostly the names came from what u were doing it out of,

one school did them out of mills, one out of flares..

how they came about actually wasnt an issue on names

AIRTRAX came about cause they said it was like a halo in the air, caue another name for halo is trax.

AIRFLARE came about cause people did an airtrack from a flare.




you can get all technical and down and dirty about it, but in the end their the same thing
